So much for all Zelda, all the time.

Nintendo's E3 plans will include a lot of Zelda, but a lot of other things as well..

The first sign came when the Japanese Twitter account for Pokémon sent a message today confirming both Pokémon Sun and Moon as well as Pokémon Go, would have a presence at Treehouse Live.

Nintendo later followed up with a press release confirming the Treehouse Live show would now be a two-day affair, with day 1 being Zelda for Wii U and Pokémon Sun and Moon. Day 2 will feature "upcoming Wii U and 3DS titles" including (but not limited to) Monster Hunter Generations, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Dragon Quest VII. There will also be an opening Q&A about Pokémon Go at 10 am Pacific / 1 pm Eastern on Day 2.

So Nintendo realized that showing only one game at E3 despite having more than that available to show was a stupid idea and have changed plans accordingly. Good for them. Of course this is the conclusion you're supposed to come to behind closed doors, not a month or so after revealing your initial plans publicly and observing ridicule and concern from your target audience.

Anyway I now feel I should pay some attention to E3 so this is great news.
